Researchers said there was "limited overlap" of news sources sharedbetween Democrats and Republicans, which they said speaks to thepolarization that exists across the U.S. political divide.

They warned that social media algorithms can be used to distributepolarizing political content and misinformation, adding that "filterbubble effects," which select what information to show in news feedsbased on user preferences and behavior, have "polarized public life,"which could leave consumers vulnerable to propaganda campaigns.

"Given the central role that social media plays in public life, theseplatforms have become a target for propaganda campaigns andinformation operations," researchers wrote.

They pointed to a recent U.S. elections review by Twitter that foundthat more than 50,000 automated accounts were linked to Russia.

Facebook, meanwhile, has revealed that content from the RussianInternet Research Agency reached more than 126 million U.S. citizensbefore the 2016 presidential election.

I have had to pull a gun on someone about 30 years ago, I really don’t wantto be in that situation again. I just don’t have that much hate for anyone.There are lots of ways to stop someone, many of them non-lethal, I will stickwith those. If I don’t succeed, fine I won’t be around to worry about it,if I do, great.

Is it a matter of "hate" or really just not caring enough, ofindifference to human life?

If somebody is in my home with a weapon, I am sure as hell indifferentto _his_ human life. I shall not fire a warning shot, but aim at thecenter of his body mass and clean his guts from the wall later.

Perhaps if I lived in the boondocks and was protecting my home from critters of some kind, just not for defense against an intruder inside the home.

I would rather have a pistol for use against intruders.

For the record I don't own any firearms of any kind.

Should I ever decide to purchase one, I would do some research on the subject. My opinion here is the result of my limited experience with the M-16 and the M-14, and even less experience with a Colt 38 police special and a couple of ball and cap replicas of civil war era pistols all of which happened 40-50 years ago.

The study you're citing found that conservatives tended to get theirnews exclusively from conservative sources more often than liberalsreceived theirs fron exclusively liberal sources.
